10、e functionary (公职人员)in Paris saw something that no Chinese had ever seen before: “On avenues, people ride on a vehicle with only two wheels which are held together by a pipe. They dash along like galloping(飞驰的)horses.” This strange vehicle was, of course, a bicycle. One hundred years later, Chinese
11、by the millions would be riding like “galloping horses” and the country would be known as the “Bicycle Kingdom”.Things change, however. As China has gotten richer, “car culture” has replaced “bicycle culture”. In the 1990s, there were 670 million bicycles in China. Today, there are only 120 million,
12、 but efforts are being made to get people back on their bikes in order to improve their health and the environment.Beijing has built a 6.5-kilometer “bicycle highway” so that riders wont have to deal with the dangers of riding on car-crowded city streets. And Zhejiang province plans to build 10,000
13、kilometers of “green cycle paths” for commuters. Shanghai is trying to make bike riding more popular by having an annual Tour de France Shanghai competition with professional riders from around the world.I have always thought of bicycles as personal freedom vehicles. The Chinese word zixingche does
14、carry that meaning. You can go anywhere you want to, whenever you want to. You dont have to buy gas or charge the battery. You dont have to wait for the bus or ask your parents for a ride in the car. You just get on your bike and go. And, as you pedal along lovely tree-lined streets, you can feel yo
15、ur body working and getting stronger and healthier.来源:学*科*网Z*X*X*KAs the COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause concern, Im looking forward to the reemergence(重现)of Chinas cycling scene, as a means of recreation(娱乐；消遣). People hop on bikes in the wind, not to get to and from work, but just to hang out
16、 around town, especially on a clear spring or autumn afternoon.21. Why does the number of Chinese people cycling become smaller today?A. It is not free enough to cycle.B. Riding a bike is very dangerous.来源:Z+xx+k.ComC. More people can afford to buy cars.D. Riding a bike is not as fast as riding a ho
17、rse.22. The third paragraph is written in order to .A. show that big cities are very crowdedB. suggest that China is trying to support bike-ridingC. give some examples that cities are better places to ride a bike D. tell us that Shanghai has more professional riders than Beijing23. From the last par
18、agraph, we can know that .A. the writer likes bike-ridingB. cycling is a good way to enjoy lifeC. riding gives us a sense of freedomD. cycling is a good way to fight diseaseBFang Husheng is a bright, lively, 82-year-old woman from Beijing who is learning to use a smartphone, but its been a struggle.
19、 “Technology advances so fast. What is supposed to make life easier is instead causing problems for us old people,” she says. Fang grew up in a simpler age when you had to actually leave your house to shop, buy a train ticket or make a doctors appointment. Now all of these things can be done with a
20、smartphone and, in some cases, only with a smartphone. Recently an elderly man in Dalian was unable to travel on the subway because, to enter the subway, his QR health code needed to be scanned. “What is a QR code?” the man asked. “I have money to buy a ticket, why do I need a smartphone?” In the en
21、d, he left the station, feeling confused and embarrassed. I can certainly sympathize with (同情) Fang and the man from Dalian. They have spent their entire lives contributing to society and now they feel excluded from that society. But what can be done? One group of volunteer college students is tryin
22、g to help. They are called See Young and they help the elderly learn how to use smartphones. However, teaching old folks about smartphones is only one part of the problem. Many older people have physical and health issues. Poor eyesight makes reading characters on small screens difficult. And “leath
23、ery fingers” (it means their fingers are less sensitive) make it hard to use touch screens. There are about 255 million elderly people in China and by 2030, one quarter of the population will be over 60 years of age. New technology and new solutions are going to be needed to make sure that these old
24、 folks arent left by the side of the road as the rest of society races past. 24. The first paragraph is used to .A. to show the fast development of technologyB. tell us the usage of a smartphoneC. describe the old womans situationD. attract the readers interest in the article25. Why didnt the old ma
25、n travel on the subway?A. He didnt buy a ticket. B. He had no smartphone. C. He was not healthy enough.D. He didnt want to be scanned.26. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined phrase “feel excluded from”?A. feel ignored byB. feel focused on by C. feel respected fromD. fe
26、el kept out of 27. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Old people are slow to learn to use smartphones.B. There will be many more old people in the near future in China. C. Greater help should be provided to help the old learn new technology.D. Physical and health reasons make it difficult for the
27、 old to use new technology.CThe journey of self is often nothing more than an exercise in patience and in the management of expectations. Many years ago, I was getting ready to leave home for college. I had the hope that I could finally answer the questions that had been bothering me since the begin
28、ning days of my high school years: what did I want to do; who did I want to be; what would make my life truly meaningful? I felt certain that I would be picking up the answers along the way. And there was this belief that the me who had spent many a day thinking over such things would one day sudden
29、ly pop out from his chrysalis (蝶蛹)like a caterpillar (毛毛虫) does when it becomes a butterfly. But alas, my change from caterpillar to butterfly was like being stuck in an endless queue for a ride at a Disney park. It took me a long time to realize that there is no such thing as a fast-pass in life.Da
30、isyThe journey of self is often nothing more than a tug-of-war (拔河)match between who we see ourselves to be, and how others view us. I had been considerably shy growing up, and often had trouble talking with new people. This made my high school years even more difficult as I had moved from my hometo
31、wn and had registered in three different high schools over that period of time. It was at this time that I started to follow my own interests and to better understand and develop my own sense of self. However, the self is in fact partly formed by how others see us. There is a natural tension (矛盾)bet
32、ween our inner sense of self, and how other people see us. The general rule is that the truer you remain to your internal sense of self, the more likely it is that people will like and admire you. Emily28. What does the underlined sentence mean?A. Its not easy to understand oneself truly.B. The writ
33、er doesnt like being kept waiting.C. The years the writer spent in the high school were long and hard.D. The experience of waiting in the park is an exercise in patience.29. According to Emily, which is the most important in the life journey?A. Staying true to oneself.B. Having ones own interest.C.
34、Understanding what others think of you.D. Enjoying experiences in different schools.30. What do Daisy and Emily have in common?A. Neither of them cares much about others.B. Neither of them had a happy high school life.C. Both of them took a negative attitude to high school life.D. Both of them refle

Skiers attach them to their shoes and use them to get over snow, often down a mountain slope. Nordic skiing and Alpi
36、ne skiing are major events of the Winter Olympic. Nordic skiing started in Norway and other countries of north Europe. 32 Cross-country skiing takes place on open, hilly land. A cross-country skier must be able to ski uphill, downhill, and cross flat areas. As for a ski-jumping competition, the skie
37、r gets down a steep ramp (斜坡) that curves upward at the end. The skier leaps off the end and tries to “fly” as far as possible and then lands on his or her feet. 33 34 Alpine events include downhill and slalom racing. Downhill racing is the fastest and most dangerous of all skiing events. The skiers
38、 go down a long, steep course that may have large bumps (隆起物). Along the course are gates formed by single poles or pairs of poles. The skier must ski between them and stay on the course. The winner is the skier who completes the course in the shortest time. Slalom racing is similar to downhill raci
39、ng. However, a slalom course is shorter and more winding (蜿蜒的) than a downhill course. 35 A. It requires the skier to make high-speed turns.B. Alpine skiing started in the Alps of central Europe.C. Skiing is a winter sport that involves the use of skis.D. The skier who leaps the farthest and has the
40、 best style is the winner. E. Nordic skiing events include cross-country racing and ski jumping.F. The skier races over and around large bumps of snow called moguls.G.
